Question

in an examination marks obtained by Ram is the same as three times the marks obtained by the Mohan if together they scored 116 marks find the marks obtained by Ram and Mohan

Answer 1

let the marks of mohan = x

Ram's marks = 3 times of mohan

= 3x

together they scored = 116 marks

x + 3x = 116

4x = 116 => x = 29

Answer:

marks obtained by mohan

= x = 29 marks

marks obtained by Ram

= 3x = 3(29) = 87 marks

Answer 2

Hey there,here is Ur solution:

Let the marks obtained by ram and Mohan be x and y.
Now according to the question marks obtained by ram is the same as three times the marks obtained by Mohan
or,x=3y
Also,x+y=116----------(1)
Now,putting the value of x in equation (1):
3y+y=116
or,4y=116
or,y=29.
Now by equation (1), x=87.
Therefore,x=87 and y=29.
